 RUMORS:

*What you are about to read has not been validated by the Charlotte Bobcats organization*
Once again we have some more news from “the inside”. This has been told to us by a couple people very close to the rebranding process.

They said that at this point in the process a logo has not been chosen yet but they do have 8 potentials for the Hornets. The majority of these and the most popular ones are sticking to original Hugo look but with a little bit more aggressive twist, a more muscular Hugo with “angrier” eyes and expression. Which is refreshing considering the complete “sissification” that happened to the Hornets brand in New Orleans. They realize the value of the brand loyalty and recognition and don’t want to ruin that.

Some logos are completely different but are not getting as strong support as those similar to the original Hugo.

To answer the question that has been bothering so many people. Pete Guelli also said that they have not finalized a color scheme but for the time being are using the Carolina Blue for legal reason not yet fixed with the league.

Now our source has stated that most of the design proposals are sticking with the TEAL & PURPLE as the main colors and may use the Carolina Blue for small “details”. This will give them ability to make more apparel designs.

Again this is all hearsay. Take all this with a grain of salt.

STAY TUNED! We will bring you the BUZZ as soon as we hear

 

 

I have faith in the organization that they'll do the right thing regarding logo and colors...really excited to see what they come up with after all the "Buzz City" stuff...which I think is really cool.

When did New Orleans announce their rebrand last year. So I can know when to expect some leaked logos and what not.

 

I can't give you a specific timetable, but I do know how potential logos were leaked.  Someone on a NOLA forum was related to someone who worked in merchandise/textiles, etc and was one of the companies used to produce merchandise samples of hats with the different logo options.  One of the logos ended up being their main logo and one of their alternates.  

I worked for a merchandise company that had liscenes for the Kentucky Derby and we would receive logo options 10 months before...have shirts/hats/mugs/cups, etc made up with each of the logos and send them back to churchill downs..there they would decide what looked best on merch, programs, etc.  

Considering the rumors of a logo release in november or december...I'd imagine adidas has merch samples of hornets logos being considered already.  

just my opinion.

Charlotte Hornets' jerseys featured a carolina blue pinstripe. Lots of fans never even noticed it.

That's likely because Alexander Julien who designed the Hornets Jerseys also designed UNC's jerseys as well.  He has also expressed entrance in designing the new Hornets jerseys.  Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Julian is a UNC alumni. That is why he threw in a UNC blue pinstripe. Not because he designed UNC's uniform.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.

      Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
